A verification notice must be sent when a voter registration application does not contain all the minimum information required in RCW
29A.08.010. The notice must be sent by first-class forwardable mail and must include a response form that:
(1) Is preaddressed and postage paid or is accompanied by a preaddressed and postage paid return envelope.
(2) Requests that the applicant provide the missing information only.
(3) Requests that the applicant provide the missing information within forty-five days from the date the verification notice was mailed.
If the applicant does not respond by the forty-five day deadline, the voter registration application is considered void.
The county auditor shall not mail a verification notice to a participant in the future voter program established under RCW
29A.08.170 until the participant becomes a registered voter.
